1. "Is Counselling the Right Choice for You? Exploring Your Options

You might wonder if counselling is what you need when you consider your first call to a counsellor or therapist.

Perhaps a partner or friend has recommended it to you.

You may feel stuck on a problem, continuously thinking about it without making any progress.

Maybe you notice recurring patterns in your job, relationships, and friendships, leading you to ask, "Why does this keep happening to me?"

Do you experience anxiety, feeling like something terrible is about to occur, and can't shake the sensation? You might find yourself easily irritated with those around you, worried about something undefined, experiencing a dry mouth, holding your breath, breathing rapidly, and being aware of your heartbeat.

Have you visited your doctor regarding physical symptoms, been diagnosed with anxiety or depression, started on medication, and advised to see a counsellor?

If any of this applies to you, then call me.

I can talk you through what counselling is about and let you decide if you want to take the next step and book an appointment or take time to think about it, no pressure from me.

I will start by asking you about what prompted your call and how this has affected your day-to-day life and relationships. I will listen to you. I won't tell you what to do, and together, I will help you find the solution that works best for your circumstances.
